Right now you could share a Mesh file as code, but yes, you'd need to have a way of consuming that code. Right now there's no way of communicating the UI interface; I had envisaged that people would download Mesh separately from the internet.

Embedding Mesh and its dependencies in the file itself is really clever. The file would get a bit bloated but maybe that's OK if:

(a) when the file is consumed by other code, the interface exposed is clear

(b) when the file is opened as a Mesh program, all the user can see is the program shown in the spreadsheet, not Mesh's code.

It is potentially more risky from a security perspective if it is not easy to verify the Mesh source embedded in the file hasn't been changed to be malicious.
